Overview
Clarify CRM is an autonomous, AI-driven platform built around a lightweight object model optimized for individual sellers and small teams. HubSpot uses a more structured CRM architecture with separate Contact, Company, Deal, Ticket, and custom object types, each with native and custom properties. The core migration challenge is translating Clarify's deal-centric pipeline model into HubSpot's pipeline-and-stage architecture while preserving Clarify's activity history (calls, emails, meetings, notes) on the correct HubSpot timelines. We map Clarify contacts directly to HubSpot contacts, Clarify companies to HubSpot companies, and Clarify deals to HubSpot deals with pipeline-stage value mapping. Clarify's custom fields migrate as HubSpot custom properties — most map directly by type (text, number, date, picklist), but multi-select and relational fields require transformation logic or manual review. Owner resolution happens by email match against HubSpot users. Activity history (calls, emails, meetings, notes) migrates to HubSpot's engagement timeline with original timestamps and owner attribution preserved. The migration does not carry over Clarify workflows, AI automation rules, or sequence configurations — these must be rebuilt in HubSpot's workflow engine. We provide an export of Clarify automation definitions to serve as a rebuild reference for your HubSpot admin. A delta-pickup window captures any records modified during cutover, and one-click rollback is available if reconciliation fails.
Every standard and custom field arrives verified.
AI proposes the map; you confirm before any record moves.
Parent–child, lookups, and ownership stay linked.
Calls, emails, meetings — with original timestamps.
Documents, uploads, and inline notes move with the record.

Object mapping
Each row shows how a Clarify CRM object lands in HubSpot, including any object-level transformations, lookup resolution, or schema-design dependencies.
Typical mapping — final map is confirmed during the sample migration step.
Clarify CRM
Contact
HubSpot
Contact
1:1Clarify contacts map 1:1 to HubSpot contacts. All standard contact properties (name, email, phone, job title, address) migrate directly. Clarify contact owner resolves by email match against HubSpot users. Unmatched owners are flagged before migration runs so you can invite them to HubSpot first.
Clarify CRM
Company
HubSpot
Company
1:1Clarify companies map to HubSpot companies. Company name, domain/website, industry, employee count, and annual revenue migrate directly. Parent-child company hierarchies in Clarify map to HubSpot's parent company association. Multi-company contacts collapse to a primary HubSpot company with additional associations surfaced as secondary.
Clarify CRM
Deal / Pipeline
HubSpot
Deal
1:1Clarify deals map to HubSpot deals. Each Clarify pipeline becomes a HubSpot deal pipeline, and Clarify pipeline stages map to HubSpot deal stages with value-by-value correspondence. Deal amount, close date, and owner migrate directly. Probability and forecast category are re-applied per HubSpot pipeline configuration.
Clarify CRM
Pipeline Stage
HubSpot
Deal Stage
1:1Stage names map value-by-value from Clarify to HubSpot. Each Clarify pipeline requires its own HubSpot pipeline so stage pick-list values are scoped correctly. Stage-entered timestamps are preserved as HubSpot custom datetime properties for reporting continuity. Closed-won and closed-lost timestamps carry over with original values.
Clarify CRM
Activity (Call)
HubSpot
Engagement (Call Log)
1:1Clarify call logs migrate to HubSpot's engagement timeline as call activities. Original call duration, timestamp, owner, and associated contact/company/deal are preserved. If Clarify stored call disposition or outcome as a custom field, that value migrates as a HubSpot custom property on the engagement record.
Clarify CRM
Activity (Email)
HubSpot
Engagement (Email)
1:1Clarify email records migrate to HubSpot's engagement timeline. Subject, timestamp, owner, and associated records are preserved. Email body content migrates as the engagement body. If Clarify tracked email open/click tracking data, those metrics carry as custom properties on the HubSpot engagement.
Clarify CRM
Activity (Meeting / Note)
HubSpot
Engagement (Meeting) / Note
1:1Clarify meeting records migrate to HubSpot meetings with original start/end times, location, owner, and associated records. Clarify notes migrate as HubSpot notes on the associated contact, company, or deal timeline. Rich-text formatting in Clarify notes is preserved through migration, ensuring meeting history and notes appear naturally within HubSpot's timeline interface.
Clarify CRM
Custom Property (Text / Number / Date)
HubSpot
Custom Property
1:1Clarify custom properties of standard types (single-line text, multi-line text, number, date, currency) map to HubSpot custom properties of equivalent type. Property names are preserved or normalized to HubSpot naming conventions. Type validation runs on import — mismatched types are flagged for correction before records commit.
Clarify CRM
Custom Property (Pick-list)
HubSpot
Custom Property (Dropdown)
1:1Clarify pick-list custom properties map to HubSpot dropdown properties. Pick-list values migrate as HubSpot option values with the same labels. If Clarify uses a pick-list that HubSpot doesn't already contain, we create the dropdown with the source values pre-populated as options. Value-level mapping ensures pick-list labels match exactly.
Clarify CRM
Custom Object
HubSpot
Custom Object
1:1Clarify custom objects map 1:1 to HubSpot custom objects. Custom object records, fields, and associations migrate directly if HubSpot Enterprise is active — custom objects require HubSpot Enterprise tier. Custom-object associations that use Clarify's N:N relationship model need HubSpot association labels or junction objects when the relationship is many-to-many.
Clarify CRM
User / Owner
HubSpot
User
1:1Clarify owner IDs resolve to HubSpot users by email match. Records assigned to Clarify owners without a matching HubSpot email are flagged before migration. Your team either creates HubSpot user accounts for those owners or assigns records to a fallback owner before the migration run commits.
Clarify CRM
Clarify Workflow / Automation
HubSpot
HubSpot Workflow
1:1Clarify's autonomous workflow rules, AI follow-up drafts, and automation sequences do not migrate. They must be rebuilt in HubSpot's workflow engine. We export your Clarify automation definitions as a structured reference document your HubSpot admin can use to rebuild equivalent rules.

Pair-specific challenges
Migration approach
Audit Clarify data model and map to HubSpot objects
We read every Clarify object, property, and association via the API. We identify standard objects (contacts, companies, deals), custom properties by type, and custom objects. We produce a data dictionary mapping each Clarify field to its HubSpot equivalent, noting value mappings for pick-lists and transformations for multi-select or date fields. This audit runs before any data moves and is your pre-migration review document.
Validate owner resolution and flag unmatched users
Clarify owner IDs are matched against HubSpot user emails. We run a pre-flight resolution check that identifies every Clarify owner without a corresponding HubSpot user. Your team creates HubSpot accounts for those users or designates a fallback owner before migration runs. No record lands in HubSpot without a valid owner ID. This pre-flight check prevents orphaned records and ensures proper attribution throughout the migration.
Create HubSpot pipelines and custom properties
We create HubSpot deal pipelines matching Clarify's pipeline names and stage counts. Custom properties that don't exist in HubSpot are pre-created as custom properties on the correct objects. Pick-list options are populated with Clarify's exact values. This step runs in a staging pass so the production HubSpot account has the schema ready when data begins importing. Staging ensures the schema is validated before any production data flows in.
Run sample migration with field-level diff
A representative slice of records — typically 100–500 covering contacts, companies, deals, and activities across multiple pipelines — migrates first. We generate a field-level diff showing source value vs. destination value for every mapped field. You review the diff to confirm pick-list mappings, pipeline-stage mapping, owner resolution, and timestamp preservation before the full run commits. This sample validation catches mapping errors early and prevents them from propagating to the full dataset.
Execute full migration with delta-pickup and rollback guard
The full migration runs in sequence: companies first, then contacts, then deals, then activities. A delta-pickup window of 24–48 hours runs in parallel, capturing any records modified in Clarify during the cutover window. Every operation is logged in an audit trail. If reconciliation fails — record counts don't match, association links are broken — one-click rollback reverts the destination to its pre-migration state.
